About

I live in the DC area now covering the political scene for a variety of clients. It is crazy to work here. You’re seeing events from their beginnings—the policy, laws and debates that help drive our society.

I’ve considered myself a photojournalist since picking it up just prior to an Army deployment to Kosovo back in 1999. During that deployment I decided to concentrate on this trade full time. I left the Army after more deployments, including one to Baghdad in 2004, in June 2005. In September 2005 I returned to Iraq as a civilian photog. Most of my time there was spent embedded with the Army.

My future plans are to master multi-media photojournalism, or as some now call it “convergence” journalism, and cover conflict and post-conflict social issues when not on Cap Hill.
